Top 5: Fantasy Football Wildcard Picks

4) Matt Targett (Southampton)

Anthony Martial of Manchester United in action with Matt Targett of Southampton.

Young Matt Targett started the season in Southampton’s defence with Ryan Bertrand missing through injury, but faced a tough baptism of fire.

When the former Chelsea defender was fit again, he came straight back into the starting XI and little had been seen from Targett, until a couple of matches ago.

In a change of formation for Saints boss Ronald Koeman, the Dutchman played a 3-5-2 formation against Watford and West Brom with Bertand playing as a left-sided centre-back, and the young England Under-21 international featuring at left wing-back.

As well as the South Coast keeping two clean sheets, Targett also impressed going forward, picking up an assist in each match and a total 23-point haul across the two fixtures at St Mary’s.

Currently valued at just £3.7m, he may not play every match, but he is definitely one to consider whether you are planning to use your wildcard or not.
